After the signing ceremony, each of EU’s member states and the Georgian parliament will have to ratify it before it can come into force. About a week ago, Parliament Speaker Davit Usupashvili said that parliament plans to ratify the agreement in July, 2014.

The Georgian government is organizing a concert in Tbilisi to celebrate the signing of the agreement. It will be held at Europe Square in the capital, and be attended by the prime minister and the president who will address.
